10 Aug 2017 Evaluate

Continuing its steady growth, net direct tax collections, which are made up of personal and corporate taxes, was up by 19.1 percent to Rs 1.90 lakh crore in the first four months (April to July) of the financial year 2018, as demonetisation of higher denomination currency brought in more number of individuals in tax net. This indicates that 19.5 percent of the annual budget target of direct taxes (Rs 9.8 lakh crore) had been achieved. In April-July of 2016-17, the direct tax collection grew by 24.01 percent to Rs 1.59 lakh crore.

Apart from this, the gross revenue collection of Corporate Income Tax (CIT) grew at 7.2 percent, while Personal Income Tax (PIT) grew at 17.5 percent. However, after adjusting for refunds, the net growth in CIT collections is 23.2 percent while that in PIT collections is 15.7 percent.  Further, refunds amounting to Rs 61,920 crore have been issued during April-July, 2017 which are 5.1 percent lower than the refunds issued during the corresponding period last year. 

Earlier this week, the government had released the numbers of income tax returns filed, showing demonetisation of old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes had given the substantial growth. The total number of returns filed as on August 5 stands at around 2.83 crore up from 2.27 crore filed during the corresponding period of 2016-17. This was an increase of 24.7 per cent compared to growth rate of 9.9 per cent in the previous year. Individual tax returns filed were up 25.3 per cent at 2.79 crore.
